"The Italo-Turkish War: A Glimpse into the Intensity and Valor" In an episode of the battle on the 27th, an Alpine volunteer emerges as a force to be reckoned with, surprising everyone by capturing an Arab prisoner. The vividly colored lithograph captures this moment of triumph. The Battle of March 3 in Derna showcases a harrowing scene where Turkish resistance crumbles amidst trenches filled with fallen comrades. Their futile attempts to hold their ground are depicted in another striking lithograph. Amidst the chaos of war, there is also heart-wrenching loss. The discovery of two valiant officers from the Lodi cavalry between lifeless bodies serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and bravery. This somber image is brought to life through vibrant colors. An insidious revolt by Arabs in Tripoli unfolds, leading to the execution of traitors who had previously accepted Italian rule. This dramatic event is captured in yet another captivating lithograph. On February 27, during the Battle at Mergheb Heights near Homs, Italian forces conquer through sheer determination and bayonet charges against Turkish-Arabs. The intensity and courage displayed are beautifully illustrated in this colorful lithograph. A cunning display by Turks convinces Arabs from Accara to fight against Italians rather than submit peacefully. This intriguing turn of events is portrayed vividly through color lithography. The resumption of war for definitive occupation leads to fierce battles on Cyrenaic plateau—an endeavor documented artistically using bold colors that bring forth its significance. Corporal Cavalli from Piacenza finds himself lost beyond Benghazi only to be attacked by two Bedouins who tragically take his life. This emotional encounter resonates deeply when depicted through vibrant hues on canvas. The biggest battle erupts in Zanzur on September 20th within Tripolitania—a monumental clash centered around a cannon that becomes immortalized in a captivating lithograph.
